DC Up Close: U.S. Botanic Garden

The U.S. Botanic Garden has always been one of my favorite places to go when I need an hour or two to unwind. It also happens to be a blissfully warm refuge during the winter months! This past weekend, I made it there just in time to catch the tail end of the popular Fairy Garden holiday exhibit, featuring handmade fairy village displays, along with stunning replicas of DC monuments and museums. The coolest part? Each design was crafted entirely out of plant material!

I've lived in the DC area my whole life and have never been but we actually said over Christmas that we need to go there sometime. My husband loves plants and flowers and cool stuff like this so maybe soon.

Wowza, those are amazing. I would totally go nuts there as I love gardens, plants and being surrounded by nature. Been to DC a few times but never been there, will put it on our must do list for next visit!
